Dear Doctor Allen: .

Congratulations to you and the team on another Conference
Championship. While I did not learn the KU-OU Friday night score
until yesterday afternoon had felt sure that the outcome would
be favorable.

Have not seen any basketball in three years, although Hofstra
College here in Hempstead has had a fine team this year. Was very
much disappointed when I was unable to get in and see you trim
Fordham last month but had a meeting here which I had to attend.
Of course I was also pleased when you trimmed Fordham.

Have been so very busy, especially the past few months, that
I have had Little time for outside activities. Only saw about a
half dozen baseball games last Summer, but saw most of the pro
football games, of which I am very fond. In @ddition to my duties
with the health department am very much tied up with emergency
medical services in Civilian Protection. As a matter of fact I
had to neglect my fishing last summer, and when that occurs you
know I am busy.

Richard has been in the army since last May and is at present
in Camp Wheeler, Georgia. He was promoted to corporal, admitted to
Infantry Officer's School and arrived at Fort Benning two weeks ago.
However, a group of about 80 of them were sent over to Wheeler where
they will have a month of review and then go back and finish at
Fort Benning.

Josephine entered Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing in
New York City last August; finished her probationary period the
29th of January and is now in her "freshman" year. At present she
has classes four hours a day and is on wards an equal number of
hours. She likes her work very much.

With Richard away it has been very nice to have Josephine so
near as we get back and forth frequently. Either I go into the city
once a week or Josephine comes out here and that helps pass the

time. At present am getting ready to move into an apartment at the
end of the week, as I feel lost in this ates house and also the
fuel problem has been very acute.

With kind regards,

  
  

Sincerely,

       

Earle G.
